David 'Davy' Glennon is an Irish hurler who is a member of the Galway senior team and also plays with his club Mullagh although recently he has sealed a transfer to Loughrea G.A.A after years of persistence he finally got his move.
He came on as a substitute in the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final against Kilkenny solidifying his greatest achievement to date, he also won a free against Tipp that basically won Galway their first All Ireland in 28 years.[1] In 2016 he publicly admitted he had a serious gambling addiction, which had led to problems with the law, his family and hurling, and even to him contemplating ending his own life.[2]
On 3 September 2017, Glennon was a non playing substitute for Galway as they won their first All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship in 29 years against Waterford.[3][4]
